Yet in spite of this, you can still find some of the city's grand past. Stand at the western tip of Vasilievsky Island. To the right is the elegant Winter Palace, former home of the Czars. Its light blue sides and white classical columns make it perhaps St. Petersburg's most graceful building. It houses one of the worlds most famous art museums: the Hermitage. Inside, 20 km of galleries house thousands of works of art. Look over your right shoulder. The massive golden dome of St. Isaac's Cathedral rises above the skyline. You'll see, too, why St. Petersburg is called a "floating city." Standing there, nearly surrounded by water, you can see four of the city's 42 islands.
然而尽管如此，你还是能够在这座城市身上找到过去辉煌的影子。站在瓦西里岛西端。映入眼帘的是优雅的冬宫，这里曾是前任沙皇的府邸。淡蓝的墙壁和白色古典的圆柱或许使得它成为圣彼得堡最优雅的建筑。它拥有世界上最著名的艺术博物馆之一：埃尔米塔日博物馆。博物馆内，两万米长的画廊里陈列着成千上万件艺术品。向你的右边望去。宏伟的圣以撒大教堂的金顶矗立在天际之上。你可能也会发出这样的疑问，为什么圣彼得堡会被称为“漂浮的城市”。身处其中，你几乎完全为水所包围，而眼前正是这座城市的42岛中的四座。
